Left hepatic vein attenuation for treatment of patent ductus venosus in a dog. uri icon

abstract

  • Patent ductus venosus was identified in a young dog. Surgical attenuation of the anomalous vessel was performed by partial ligation of the left hepatic vein. Clinical signs resolved after surgery, and laboratory values returned to normal. Jejunal venous portography, performed 8 weeks after surgery, revealed complete occlusion of the patent ductus venosus, with normal portal vasculature to the right and central divisions of the liver. Atrophy of the left hepatic division resulted.
